Your Local Bishop's Move

With over 20 locations in the UK, and also in Europe, our vast removals network ensures that you can experience a personal service from your local Bishop's Move team, as well as find affordable storage near your new or old property. As a leading home removal company, we pride ourselves on offering a full house moving service for all our clients.

How long does it take to move house?

It will take on average between 8 to 22 weeks to move house. This takes into account the time you should give notice to a removal company so that you can get a quote and book your moving date. Although exchange dates can move this should give your removal company notice and time to adjust their plans if needed.
